About Stryker
When Dr. Homer Stryker, an orthopaedic surgeon
from Kalamazoo, Michigan, found that certain medical products
were not
meeting his patients’ needs, he invented new ones. As
interest in these products grew, Dr. Stryker started a company
in 1941 to produce them. The company’s goal was to help
patients lead healthier, more active lives through orthopaedic
products and services that make surgery and recovery simpler,
faster, and more effective.
Today, Stryker (NYSE:SYK) is one of the pre–eminent
medical products and services companies in the world. Headquartered
in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA, Stryker employees 16,000 people
worldwide and has 18 manufacturing sites. Stryker Corporation
consists of the Instruments Division, Medical Division, Endoscopy,
Orthopaedics, Physical Therapy & Biotechnology, as well
as European, Pacific, Americas and Middle Eastern divisions.
We hold the esteemed position of achieving 20% growth each consecutive
year since 1977. Company growth has come from offering an unparalleled
variety of high quality, innovative products and services and
from the dedication of each of the Company’s employees.
